Journalism and Bias in the Gaming Industry

And you're still posting here, shouldn't you be doing something about the dead oceans instead of whining about something you don't care about? -

And yet you took time out of your life to whine about it on a videogame forum. -
Mad Max: Fury Road: 99% Fresh with 190 Critic Reviews
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to ktchong's topic in Way Off-Topic
Interesting. Tell me about Mad Max. Why does he get strapped to a car and wear a mask? Because no one knew who he was before he put on the mask. No tell me about this grand master plan of his. Of coursh...Nux refused our offer in favor of yours, we had to find out what he told you. -

If I'm not mistaken, that is the reasoning behind removing it. ... So should we also remove bank robberies, car jackings, massacres, and drunk driving for the same reason? I dunno, I think the reasoning is stupid to begin with. -

I think we need a separation between editorials and reviews(subjective) and news(objective), with different standards for both. Obviously disclosure should occur, and there should be some standards implemented to maintain professional distance. -

Okay so there was an article on Polygon that raised this point and I supported it..but now I'm not so convinced anymore In summary many hookers in RL are subjected to real attacks of violence and abuse...and in GTA you can kill hookers so it just adds to the stereotype of how badly hookers are treated. Also where are the male gay hookers if you want to represent the sex industry? By that justification, shouldn't black men be removed because they are the most likely to be murdered? You not seriously comparing the quality of life of African Americans and hookers..you not suggesting they are the same? The point that Polygon made can be argued and I am prepared to have the debate with you if you want? Young black men are the most likely to be killed in America, particularly poor young black men. The conditions these people live in are terrible, with little opportunity for making legitimate money or advancement and crime being rampant around them. Seeing as the conditions many poor young black men live in are awful, why is murdering them in GTA acceptable but killing prostitutes not? -

Whether Sarkeesian is a con artist or not. Try to keep up KP. What does that have to do with hookers in GTA? -

As someone who liked the comic, this is pretty awful. Not nearly as bad as the AMC Preacher though. Haven't watched a lot of TV recently, any suggestions? -

Is that old? Last I heard they said it was fine. It was just posted on the chan, maybe i am missing something? A while back DCC said they were not allowing GG shirts, a bunch of people complained, and then they said it was fine as long. IIRC of course. -
I believe Finnish is actually made up and they really speak English. This applies to any language that isn't English.

Guns aren't a change, they've been here since the nation's founding as has been the right to bear them. As my 1EE7 associate implied, the same could be said of motor vehicles. In fact, the death toll for car crashes is about the same as gun deaths (http://www.iihs.org/iihs/topics/t/general-statistics/fatalityfacts/state-by-state-overview), so why allow one and not the other? Ensure that an individual can't possibly murder someone without consequence if they kill someone when no witnesses besides the individual in question exist and the individual in question was told by the authorities to back off. What would you do if Zimmerman had used a knife or brick instead of a gun? Why does it have to be a necessity? Off-topic, but sadly not that simple.I was asked specifically about the availability of cheap crap food, not obesity as a whole. Obesity as a whole requires better nutritional education and public alternatives to paid private gyms, on a widespread scale. Not really, most poor families buy boxed foods from places like Food Town rather than fast food. For a large family, paying 1.08 per burger isn't as cheap as a box of instant food. Hence cheap healthy alternatives being needed.

...How exactly would you solve the problem of crap food being available to low-income households? By taking said crap food away from them? 1. Make sure cheap healthy alternatives are available 2. Do a better job on educating children on nutrition

My citation says 10 per 100,000 deaths. Personally, I do not look it as numbers so much as I do lives. Do you realize that 10 deaths per 100,000, if we were to apply that to Obsidian forums as an example, means ten of us would be gone right now. Every life should be valued. I know that sounds corny, but think about yourself, all your uniqueness and all your stories and opinions you'd like to tell, and every single other human on earth is exactly as unique. The phrase "you are special, just like everyone" is infact not a paradox. 10 per 100000 deaths in the US are due to guns? Last study I looked at(http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/809516) shows obesity being responsible for 18.2% of deaths. That's 18200 per 100000. Being obese kills 1820x the rate of a machine designed to kill. I'd say violence is certainly isn't much, and obesity is easier to address both culturally and legally than guns, which are protected by an amendment and one of the most effective political lobbies in the world. As someone who has personally suffered with weight issues, including obesity, I can say that it is much worse than the statistically insignificant damage gun violence causes, in that it renders the lives of those who suffer with it plagued with health problems and a sense of worthlessness. Addressing the issues that cause obesity, such as the crap food available to low-income households or the lack of education in nutrition and fitness is also easier to do than touch gun ownership.

4.5 deaths per 100000 isn't that much. If you're an American, you're more likely to die from obesity than being shot.
